Description of problem: Anaconda does not recognize Seagate SATA Hard Drive with Nvidia sata_nv Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to Install Fedora Core 3 from DVD 2. 3. Actual results: Install will not recognize the Seagate SATA Hard Drive Expected results: Install should recognize the Seagate SATA Hard Drive, allow you to partition & format the Hard Drive, and install to it. Additional info: Using the exact same hardware, Fedora Core 2 installation CD does recognize the Seagate SATA Hard Drive.
This problem is being discussed at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=276829 There are presently 3 people who have posted there that have the combination of Fedora Core 3, Nvidia chip set with native SATA, and Seagate SATA Hard drives, and the hard drives are not being recognized by anaconda. I used the Fedora Core 2 installation CD with the same hardware, and the Seagate Sata Hard Drive was properly recognized. I also used a SATA/PATA adapter to hook a Western Digital PATA hard drive to the SATA controller, and Fedora Core 3 loaded the sata_nv driver and recognized the Western Digital properly.
Got the same problem with a Seagate 80gb SATA, and Nvidia nforce3 chipset. Anaconda loads sata_nv Prompts to select a harddrive of which the sata is one option. Flags an error saying it has no place to install to and exits.
I have the same problem and have tried several ways to upgrade from FC2 to FC3. My AMD Semphron 3200+ box with the SATA Barracuda runs fine on the current FC2 but trying to upgrade to FC2 I run into the same problems. Currently I get the drive detected (in BIOS) as the 3rd IDE master, and the drive gets mounted as /dev/hde. After creating a boot image from the FC3 cd, burning and installing or trying upgrade (linux upgrades) I always get the same error. borkur
FWIW, the SuSE 9.2 installer has the same problem.
I replaced my Seagate with a Western Digital and it appears to work now, so it seems to be a problem with Seagate drives. The Seagate that is not detected is a fairly new (ie has NCQ stuff) 160GB . The Western Digital is an older 80GB.
I have a small twist. I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (r2) motherboard with a Silicon Image 3112 controller and the installer just hangs when it tries to load the sata_sil driver with the message: Disabling IRQ11. Currently it doesn't matter what type of SATA drive I use, I just cannot get FC3 installed at all.
i have the same problem with fc3 and sata 120GB seagate. it says that it didn't find any hdd to install to
I have a Seagate 80 gig, and a Radeon 9800 pro. The installer recognizes my secondary hdd, and i got fedora to install on it, but it also puts the /boot file there. I severely need a patch so I can run linux (I would like free email and web hosting).
